Irish Goodbye

from Taped Over by The Earthly Frames

about

for Dad

lyrics

Known as quite polite
And to that despite
There’s no farewell for you

I couldn’t tell you why
I can’t say goodbye
Time for me to fly
I can’t say goodbye

Kitchen light catches me going out the back door
Invites in my postbox, for me no more

Good at pleasantries
Nod my head and agree
There’s no farewell for you
Here in my finest
Yet there’s no question why must
There be no farewell for you

Dollie’s at the piano time to make my leave. Her singing’s so lovely, makes it hard to breath

They won’t be the wiser
If I pocket that appetizer
There’s no farewell for you

Oh, yes, the office friend
Yes, another ear to bend
There’s no farewell for you

Voices grow quiet as I rise up the hill .Finally freedom in the night air’s chill
